hyperMILL® is one of the world’s most powerful CAM solutions for machine- and controllerindependent programming. The system provides extremely innovative, flexible and powerful CAM strategies that allow manufacturers to achieve quality, time and cost targets much more quickly, even on challenging parts.

Not Just For Reliable 5axis MachiningReliable collision checking and avoidance, hyperMILL® detects collisions and provides efficient solutions for collision avoidance. Fully automated collision avoidance offers a range of strategies. A collision-free tool angle is calculated automatically for 5axis simultaneous machining. The user can decide which axis of rotation should be prioritised in collision avoidance depending on the machine kinematics. If there are collisions, 3D and/or tilted machining is cancelled, the toolpaths with collisions are left out, and then milling is carried out using longer tool lengths and/or modified tool angles. Furthermore, during roughing, the paths can be moved laterally, thereby allowing greater machining depths. The software can predict tool length extension or reduction to optimise this parameter while assuring collision free toolpaths.

5axis Machining For demanding geometries such as deep cavities, high steep walls and undercuts, 3D machining is not possible because of collisions – or it is only possible with long tools. Machining these areas requires precisely defined milling areas and many different tool inclinations, which can be accomplished without collisions using 5axis machining.

Depending on the geometry and machine kinematics, you can select between 5axis machining with a fixed tool inclination, automatic indexing or simultaneous machining. Larger, slightly curved surfaces and geometries that follow leading surfaces or profiles can also be efficiently milled using 5axis machining.

The Trendsetting 5-axis Technology hyperMILL® can typically yield time savings of more than 25 per cent while lowering tool wear and increasing contour accuracy for more cost-efficient production thanks to continuous machining. Challenging geometries such as high and steep walls require many different tool inclinations in precisely delineated milling areas.

5-axis SimultaneousWith hyperMILL® 5AXIS is based on what users are already familiar with; milling with a tilted tool. Yet the machining process is now quicker, the surface results are better and programming is much less complicated. Thanks to easy programming with automatic collision checking and avoidance, this technology can also be used as a solution for many standard milling jobs.
